"Hi all, Iv'e watched this thread grow, by now there should be loads of actual drawings to put up for a vote. Someone suggested a competition earlier, I guess that would do well, best design wins an Ardupilot!
So how about a rotary engine as prime…"
"Hi Zach, nice to see you have picked up speed. I am done with mine for now, but as you know one will always come bace to see what can be done better. You can see photos of my build here."

"Even elephants can fly. I have seen your build in your other post and it is well modified from this. Thanks. We are all here to learn, why not post some more pics and links to some videos of your successes. Would be helpful."
"Wow. This is no mean feat! Great job and nice attention to detail. But its a great deviation from the original proposed cad picture posted earlier. I bet the realities of the build challenges forced the tanning down. Retractable wheels...? Build the…"
